We asked her 11 Quick Questions so we could find out her what advice she has for digital creatives, what keeps her inspired, and important stuff like her favorite app.

Most important advice for creative resumes? No matter how beautifully formatted and graphically pleasing a resume is, content is key! Your name should not be the largest (72pt. font) item on the page, that only tells employers you have nothing to say about your experience and skills, only that you are very proud of your personalized logo :)

Parting piece of advice for interviewing? Create a Top 10 List of the best skills that qualify you for the position and share them with the company. Give direct, real life examples of how you exemplify that skill (Problem, Action, Result). At least two real examples will help the employer visualize you solving problems. It will also help prepare you with the correct verbiage during the interview, so you won’t stumble over any questions. Example: Why should we hire you? You just wrote 10 reasons why!
